Has anyone any comments on Schladming as a resort for a better skier. My
(rather old) resort guides seem to suggest that there isn't much in the way
of blacks & beyond, but the Schladming website & other refs seem to suggest
much new lift building since then. Has this accessed some more challenging
areas or just made it even more intermediate ?


I was last there three years ago. At that time, there certainly was
not very much for more advanced skiers, with just one or two blacks on
each of the mountains, and very little off-piste available. For me at
the time, as an early intermediate skier, it was superb. But by the
end of the week, I could ski any of the blacks.

Having just had a look at the current panorama map,
http://www.4berge.at/ three do not seem to be any additional black
runs, except maybe one at the top of the Huaser-Kaibling mountain.

Most of the new lifts seem to be extra links between the mountains, or
just upgrades of existing lifts.
